Back in 2013 Heather "Anish" Anderson set a new Unsupported Fastest Known Time (UFKT) for thru-hiking the Pacific Crest Trail.Pox was fortunate enough to interview her a few days after she finished for "Episode 25 - Anish and The Badger".After an article was published about her in Backpacker Magazine, Anish has since said she would no longer do interviews about the subject.

Fast Forward to September 24, 2015...she did it again.Anish set a new UFKT for the Appalachian Trail: 54 days, 7 hours, 54 minutes.She didn't accept a single ride into town.She walked to her resupplies.

She is the dictionary definition of BadAss.

In honor of this amazing feat of endurance, strength, and spirit, we have decided to re-release just the interview portion of episode 25.

If you’ve heard our past Trail Days episodes, you know this is not our typical show. Every year we set up our 10x10 tent in front of MoJoe’s Trail Side Caféso we can meet and interview thru-hikers. For some reason this year the crowds on the North side of town were a little bit thin. Usually you can hear people all around us, talking, shouting, playing some weird instrument. We’re always able to grab a few people from the crowd so we can talk with them. This year…not so much. Luckily we had two people lined up to talk with us; our Australian friend “Superfeet”and long-time P&P listener “Too Loud”.

Here are a few things we talk about in this episode:Venomous vs. Poisonous

Paul Hogan throws a shrimp on the barbie

Jermaine from Outback

A Trail Angel named Courtesy stops by to say hello

Another Episode where Pox’s Heart Grew Three Sizes!

Australians Love Lamb

Bears in the Smokies decimate some section hiker backpacks

Bay Pride!

“Too Loud” runs into a turkey.

Puss tells us about her “5 Hour Energy” routine.

Obviously I have barbecue and food on my mind in this episode….sorry.

You’ll hear us talk with people off mic as they come up to say hello or buy a t-shirt.

Please visitAppTrials, sign up for the Thru-Hiker register, and when you’ve completed the trail, send Zach Good Badger Davis your summit photo so we can share itwith the world.

We’re finally going to talk about “Wild”. We waited to hear back from Reese and “her people” to see if she was going to do an interview with us. She’s not.

This this is your warning: SPOILER ALERT!

If you haven’t read/watched Wild, you might want to skip this episode until you do. Please understand that there’s a good chance we’re getting facts wrong about Wild, so we’re probably not really “spoiling” anything. Also, please understand that we will be talking about “SENSITIVE SUBJECT MATTER” and as it relates to Wild. You probably know what we’re talking about.

We also take phone calls, read out some iTunes reviews, and Laurie Potteiger gets a shout out.

So sit back, relax, and get ready to enjoy some “Non-Linear Banter…vaguely related to the Appalachian Trail”.
